''Hawksmaid'' is a 2010 Young Adult novel by Kathryn Lasky. It revolves the adventures a teenaged Maid Marian and her involvement with the young Myth/RobinHood.
Before she was Maid Marian, she was Matty. . . .
Matty has been raised to dance well, embroider exquisitely, and marry nobly. But when Matty's mother is murdered before her very eyes and her father, a nobleman, is reduced to poverty, Matty's life changes.
As the daughter of Nottingham's most famous falconer, she finds a new destiny in the hawks her father keeps. She begins to understand their thoughts and even speak their language. The beautiful merlin Marigold becomes Matty's closest winged companion and her fiercest ally.
It is a treacherous time in England. The sheriff of Nottingham is rising to power, and a true king has been kidnapped. Determined to fight, Matty's friend Fynn becomes Robin Hood. As Maid Marian, Matty joins Fynn and his Merry Men, famously robbing from the rich to give to the poor.

* EyeScream: Matty's merlin Marigold attacks the Abbess and rips her eyes out.
* LineOfSightName: When Matty is choosing an alias to go undercover in Nottingham Castle as a servant, she sees the green leaf tucked into the brim of Robin's cap, and christens herself Marian Greenleaf.
* LowFantasy: The only fantasy elements in the novel are Matty's supernatural affinity for raptors, and some vague hints that the Abbess may have some sort of magical powers.
* MisplacedWildlife: The novel contains multiple references to potatoes; a vegetable completely unknown in 12th century England.
* PoisonRing: The Abbess uses a poisoner's ring to poison the Bishop of Ely's dessert. Matty and Friar Tuck conspire to prevent him from eating it.
* SinisterMinister: One of the major villains is the Abbess, who is the Sheriff's sister and Prince John's mistress. She conspires to help John take over the kingdom while Richard is held prisoner, and captures Matty and tortures her in an attempt to discover the location of the rubies.
